After Guo Tai fled all the way to Hedong County, he immediately rushed in the direction of Baibo Valley.

But when he was on the way, he learned that tens of thousands of Xiliang cavalry were stationed outside the Baibo Valley.

After suddenly learning the news, Mrs. Guo was very surprised, because he didn't expect Dong Zhuo to send troops to raid his hometown before.

Knowing that his troops could not win, Mrs. Guo had no choice but to turn around and go to Pingyang County, where he planned to ask for reinforcements from the Southern Xiongnu Shan Yufuluo stationed in Pingyang County.

Then turn back to the white wave valley.

After thinking hard and meditating, Li Wei still couldn't come up with a way to exterminate the Yellow Turban in Baibo Valley.

In desperation, Li Dao had to send someone to report to Dong Zhuo overnight.

A few days later.

When Dong Zhuo received the news from Li Dao, he immediately called Li Ru and said to him: "Wen You, there is news from Zhiran, all the Yellow Turban Army in Baibo Valley are hiding in the mountains, Zhiran and Guo Yan are at a loss for a while, I don't know if you have a good solution to solve it?" ”

"My lord, since the yellow turbans in Baibo Valley are difficult to exterminate, the minister proposes to let General Zhiran stay still and prepare for a protracted war."

"Wen You, do you mean to let me take advantage of this time to take over the Sanfu region?"

"That's exactly what the minister meant! The white wave and yellow scarf are like a stubborn disease that cannot be cured for a long time, and we can slowly figure it out, but the princes led by Yuan Shao are an unbearable pain and emergency, and if we let it go, we will suffer from it. ”

Dong Zhuo suddenly fell into deep thought when he heard this.

After a while, Dong Zhuo replied: "Wenyou, our army has a few layers of certainty to defeat Wang Kai and Gai Xun. ”

"Back to the lord, although Wang Kai led the elite of the northern army left by Huangfu Song, but after the previous battle, his strength must be weakened, if we fight in the plains, our army can be seventy percent sure of winning, but if Wang Kai and Gai Xun defend the city, we will only be fifty percent sure, once our army falls into the quagmire and cannot move, Yuan Shao and others will definitely take advantage of the situation."

"Fifty percent sure is enough for a fight."

"My lord, the minister would like to add that if our army forms a siege battle with Wang Kai and Gai Xun, then we must capture the city within half a year, and the longer the time drags on, the lower our chances of victory will be, and it will also attract a second wave of offensive from the rest of the princes. But if our army takes Wang Kai and Gai Xun within half a year, then we can take advantage of the situation to move the capital to temporarily avoid the edge of the princes. ”

"Wen You, how many soldiers and horses can our army dispatch?"

"Back to the lord, 40,000 people is the limit, and we still need to leave a large army to garrison all passes and Luoyang City."

"40,000 people is too little, and the troops of Wang Kai and Gai Xun are at least more than 20,000 people, and maybe even more than 30,000 people, with only 40,000 people, I feel uneasy."

"Lord, in this case, why don't you try to recruit the rebels in Liangzhou, as long as they send troops together, Wang Kai and Gai Xun will not be able to hold the city at all."

"Why didn't I think that if I could recruit the rebels of Xiliang, even if the Kwantung princes raised troops again, I would not be afraid, Wen You, you quickly send a powerful person to Liangzhou to recruit Han Sui, Ma Teng and Song Jian."

With a promise, Li Ru took the order and left.

After returning to the mansion, Li Ru pondered for a long time, and he finally chose the candidate for the envoy, this person was Jia Xu of the Jia clan in Wuwei County.

After determining the candidate, Li Ru immediately visited Jia Xu.

Besides, when Jia Xu learned that Li Ru was coming to him, he instantly guessed the purpose of Li Ru's coming, and followed closely, but Jia Xu asked his servants to close the door and thank the guests, because he didn't want to show his edge under Dong Zhuo, after all, Dong Zhuo was too moody, and it was really not a good place to serve.

After Li Ru ate a big closed-door soup, he immediately thought to himself: "Jia Xu, this person is rich in five cars, if the lord can get his help, it will be like a tiger with wings, since I don't want to move you, then I have to let the lord come and invite." ’

Immediately, Li Ru immediately came to the Prime Minister's Mansion and asked to see Dong Zhuo.

When Dong Zhuo learned that Li Ru was coming, he immediately met with Li Ru and said to him: "Wenyou, do you have good news to bring?" ”

"My lord, the minister has already been selected to send an envoy, but this person cannot be sent unless he is the lord."

"What? Only I can send it? Could it be Li Su? ”

"No, although this person serves under the lord's account, he has not taken refuge in the lord."

"There is such a thing! Wen You, who is this person? ”

"Back to the lord, this person is Jia Xu of the Jia clan of Wuwei County."

"Jia Xu? I don't remember this person at all. ”

"My lord, Jia Xu's talent is far better than mine, if the lord can get his help, it can be worth tens of thousands of elite soldiers."

"There is such a talent, Wen You still doesn't take me there quickly."

"Obey orders!"

Immediately, Dong Zhuo took Lu Bu, Li Ru and a hundred elite flying bear troops towards Jia Xu's residence.

Turn to Jia Xu's mansion.

After Jia Xu refused to meet Li Ru, he immediately began to pack his luggage and prepare to leave.

But when he was just ready, Dong Zhuo, Li Ru, Lu Bu and a hundred soldiers of the Flying Bear Army came to Jia Xu's residence.

When Jia Xu's servant saw a man with armor outside the house, he immediately rushed to Jia Xu's house to report the situation.

When Jia Xu heard this, he knew that he would not be able to dodge, so he immediately put down his luggage and went to the gate and opened it.

Seeing the door open, Li Ru saw Jia Xu's figure at a glance, because he had a relationship with Jia Xu.

Immediately after, Li Ru pointed at Jia Xu and said to Dong Zhuo: "Lord, this person is Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe." ”

When Dong Zhuo followed Li Ru's finger and saw Jia Xu, he immediately looked at it.

And after Jia Xu saw Dong Zhuo's gaze at him, he immediately bowed and said, "Xiaguan Jia Xu pays a visit to Prime Minister Dong Cheng." ”

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he immediately asked, "You are Jia Xu?" ”

"Prime Minister, the lower official is indeed Jia Xu."

"I heard Wen You say that your talent is far better than his? Is this serious? ”

"The prime minister's words are serious, Jia Xu is just a small official, how can he compare to the prime minister's right-hand man."

Seeing Jia Xu say this, Dong Zhuo immediately burst out laughing, because he himself thought that Li Ru's talent would not be lower than Jia Xu's.

And when Li Ru saw that Jia Xu was so modest, he was really anxious, because he didn't want Dong Zhuo to miss Jia Xu's talent like this.

Fortunately, Dong Zhuo has not forgotten the purpose of his trip.

When Dong Zhuo stopped laughing, he immediately said to Jia Xu: "Jia Xu, I have an errand I want to hand over to you, I wonder if you are willing to take it?" ”

"The lower official is willing."

Hearing this, Dong Zhuo was stunned, because he didn't expect Jia Xu to agree so happily.

Immediately after, Dong Zhuo asked aloud: "Jia Xu, don't you ask what the errand is?" ”

"Prime Minister Dong Cheng's entrustment must be an important matter, if the subordinate refuses, he doesn't know what to do, so why don't he agree to ask about specific matters."

"Hahaha! Jia Xu, you are very much in line with me, when you return from the mission, I will let you rise to the top, and let Wen You talk to you about the specific matters! ”

"Prime Minister Xie!"

Dong Zhuo then said to Li Ru: "Wenyou, you stay and talk about the specific matters to Jia Xu, and I will stay soon." ”

"Congratulations to the Prime Minister!"

Immediately, Dong Zhuo left with Lu Bu and a hundred flying bear troops.
